Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, July 13, 2016 Page 6 Applicant Representative/Contractor, Bob Bollhaber, Forest Lake Contractors, 244 14777 Lake Drive, Forest Lake, MN 245 At the request of Member Kimble, Mr. Bollhaber clarified that he was the contractor, not 246 the applicant. Mr. Bollhaber provide a brief history of their firm; and further noted their 247 firm had a construction contract with the City of Roseville for Twin Lakes Parkway – 248 Phase III as another area project. Mr. Bollhaber advised that he had proposed to the city 249 last fall the idea to crush material on the PIK site, and involving the PIK ownership, all in 250 an effort to save money all around. However, once it was found out by the PIK site owner 251 they would need to seek IU approval, it delayed the opportunity to use that concrete 252 and/or blacktop material from their construction site to crush. Even with the delay, Mr. 253 Bollhaber noted there may yet be some opportunity remaining to benefit both the PIK 254 property owner and city by having less material trucked off site. Mr. Bollhaber noted the 255 goal was to encourage redevelopment of the site by having it shovel ready to make it 256 more marketable and enhance redevelopment of the site, making it good sense to crush 257 material son site as noted by staff. Mr. Bollhaber estimated half the tonnage could be 258 used under the parking lot, but noted it was probably too late in the process to use those 259 materials for the adjacent roadway. 260 Depending on whether or not any parcels are sold within the two year timeframe, Mr. 261 Bollhaber agreed with Chair Boguszewski that potentially half or more materials may be 262 trucked off site. As to the request by Member Kimble, Mr. Bollhaber advised that the 263 stockpile of materials would be approximately 25’ tall and cone shaped. 264 At the request of Chair Boguszewski and Member Bull, Mr. Bollhaber advised that the 265 material would not be covered, and with environmental compliance requirements and a 266 plan in place with the MPCA, he advised that this would remain all encompassing during 267 demolition activities and any mitigation would be addressed if an when encountered. As 268 to the 30-day timeframe, Mr. Bollhaber agreed that should be sufficient, and noted that 269 should any contamination be found with the concrete foundations, it wouldn’t matter, as 270 they would need to be hauled offsite and not included in the crushing operations. 271 Specific to the 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. permitted work plan, Mr. Bollhaber advised that 272 they were simply awaiting the IU approval before demolition began; with a subcontractor 273 hired to do the crushing operation starting about halfway through their demolition, 274 therefore not involving a full stockpile. In respect to noise factors for adjacent residents, 275 Mr. Bollhaber advised that his firm’s typical workday was from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 or 5:30 276 p.m. while the crushing contractor liked longer days, usually until 7:00 p.m., after which 277 they maintained the equipment and prepared it for the next day’s operations, but not 278 generating as much noise after that time. Mr. Bollhaber expressed appreciation for the 279 buffer allowed in typical operations allowed in city code. 280 At the request of Member Murphy, allowing a timeline of about 45 days, projecting 30 281 days and halfway through the demolition that the crushing operations would start, Mr. 282 Bollhaber agreed was a fair assumption. 283 At the request of Member Gitzen, Mr. Bollhaber noted the city code hours for construction 284 activity from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. were for the workday, with hours on Sunday at 9:00 285 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and no work allowed on Sunday without a waiver. 286 In response to Member Daire’s question about the crushed product’s fine grain and/or 287 larger pieces, and potential for washing into Langton Lake, Mr. Bollhaber stated he didn’t 288 see that as a possibility given this site’s distance to the lake. Mr. Bollhaber used the 289 displayed map to show the location of the stockpile 50’ from the property line; but noted 290 prior to any demolition, they would identify drainage off site so if there was a swale or 291 storm sewer catch basin, appropriate erosion control measures would be installed to 292 protect the lake. Also, Mr. Bollhaber advised that the bituminous and concrete dust 293 materials by their nature acted like a binding material, and typically locked back similar to 294 the consistency of concrete, and forming a shell or crust on the top of the stockpile. 295
